What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

BKJ 1V is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter V at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1979 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, BKJ 1V can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1979 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

BKJ 1V was first made available in January 2021. The original issuing office for this combination is Kent C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. BKJ 1V has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in January 2021. The DVLA cherished transfer programme was launched in 1989, opening previously reserved registrations to the public for the first time. Plates are selected for DVLA auctions based on their perceived collectability and desirability — an auction appearance is a recognised indicator of a registration's historical market standing and collector appeal.
